RE: OFF TOPIC: The great "Gas Out"

Dear List

Whilst I don't want to fuel the discussion much further, the fuel duty
in the UK is 85% of the pump price. On a (UK) gallon of unleaded petrol
that means US$4.32 in tax (or US$5.20 on a US gallon).

On behalf of the automobile industry, please don't let the price of
fuel and tax stop you from buying those nice shiny new cars !!!

List,
 Thank you all for your responses, I guess. Most of you were not real
apathetic towards my suggestion and rightly so as I only pay
$1.35/gallon right
now. Which seems to be the lowest of all the countries. I just don't
like
that it was only $1.15 just a week ago. Granted only a 15% change but
it still
sucks, even when one does have the 1000cc engine. By the way, for
every gallon
of gas that is bought here $0.43 of it is TAXES. And that does NOT
fluctuate.
 My applogies to those of whom that did not care for this tiny
disscusion.
 Cheers.
